Just got my 996 back from Parr Motorsport, it has been lowered and the geometery adjusted to stop the understeer, WOW what a difference to the car really changes the feel for the better, car was nice and clean for me too

Benno, has been dropped about 30mm-35mm with the same ride quality as before (watch that spoiler), tested out today (damp roads) but very, very impressed with it feels like it's on rails.

These guys really know what they are doing as they have a team of GT3 cup cars for Powertours(won last year) and Michelin Cup

Sounds fantastic Lee77 - but watch out on those icy roundabouts! I used to hate the understeer in my 944 cabriolet, but then I didn't spin that into a tree like I did my Bilstein uprated 944 Turbo!!!

Where are Parr M'sport based?

Cheers

Just wondered what the sports suspension entails on a 996 (1999)
